• Easily diluted with water

Benefits

• Quick and easy formulation development
• Provides a simple way to modify esthetics and performance of existing formulations
• Formulations can be easily adjusted
• Process equipment can be cleaned with water

Skin care applications (e.g. lotions and creams, gels, spray moisturizers, wipes)

• DOWSIL 7-3100 Emulsion can be used alone, or in combination with others in the HIP family of emulsions to rapidly develop stable skin care formulations. Pre emulsification of the silicone gum blend (dimethiconol and cyclo pentasiloxane) avoids the problem of gum separation that can sometimes occur when silicone gum blends are included in the oil phase of an emulsion formula.
• In addition to creams and lotions, DOWSIL 7-3100 Emulsion can be formulated in low viscosity sprays or liquids by diluting the HIP emulsion with water to give the desired concentrations of emollients. In most cases, a small amount of thickener may be needed to prevent separation in the formulation.
• Use of the HIP Emulsion concentrate will also give you added benefit of easy clean up. The water pre emulsified nature of this concentrate allows for clean out without the need for cyclo pentasiloxane or other solvents in process equipment.
